Babcock, the sole importer and distributor of DAF Trucks in southern Africa, recently concluded a deal with Wozani Berg Gasoline (trading as Sizanani Bulk) that includes the purchase of 10 DAF XF 105.460 truck tractors from Babcock to include in their fleet of trucks and trailer tankers.
Two more of these trucks, which are specifically built for the long haul, are currently on order with a further requisition for 15 units pending. Sizanani Bulk operates a fleet of highly specialized gas and fuel tankers that service a targeted client base, transporting liquid petroleum products throughout South Africa and SADC countries.
Last year Babcock entered the DAF XF105.460 FTT interlink into Truck Test 2015 to demonstrate the brand’s performance in the 30 to 35 ton payload segment. The results revealed that DAF is the most cost-effective vehicle in the country in the 6×4 truck tractor category after it was put through its paces in a grueling 860 km round trip route against eight other leading truck brands.
